“Sometimes bailiffs are a forgotten part of the team, but she was excellent tonight and helped score,” Strumpfer said.

Red Team (Prosecution)

The red team beat Ponderosa High School, 249-199, receiving 55 percent of the points.

Belliveau praised her co-attorney, freshman Jack Christian.

“He’s really good at doing things in the moment,” Belliveau said.

Christian said they both knew their material really well.

“(Belliveau) had a great closing, and her rebuttal was awesome,” Christian said.

Both Christian and Belliveau said that the red team could do better with objections. Only three objections were made by the team. Christian said objecting more and being assertive would have helped them.

“We need to work on not being tripped up by weird questions we’re not expecting and responding as if it were real life and not a structured competition,” Belliveau said.
